Letters to Ira C. Chace and Editor, Lincoln Nebraska Journal, 1864 February 6 and 1901 October 9.

http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/56791412

1864 letter refers to the election of the next president of the United States, mentions a new motto, and also claims that the country will be called America and not the United States. 1901 letter (actually notes) concerns newspaper article, pasted onto letter, from the Lincoln Nebraska Journal questioning Train's sanity. Article deals with whether to rename the Train School based on the "plea that Train has been crazy for years." Train's notes seem to be a request that the Omaha Board of Education retain the name.
